semakin jauh



Oh Allah, allow the eyes to see the beauty of Your creations and arrangements. The heart to feel the sweetness of Your obligations. The words to always praise You every moment possible, because no amount of gratitude would suffice to make up for everything that You have given to me, and for every shame that You have protected for me. Ameen.

Him: Ugh! Fuck you.

Her: Hey what did I do this time?

Him: Because of you I'm falling more and more in love with you.

Her: Hey, don't blame me. Blame the guy who served us both that fruit punch just now.

Him: Yea, well fuck him too.

the most beautiful gift


Allah swt hadiahkan pengalaman Isra' Mi'raj untuk Muhammad saw,

kerana kekasihNya sedih bila wafatnya dua insan yang cukup disayanginya: Siti Khadijah ra, dan Abu Talib.


Teladan. Siapa kata istiqamah itu mudah. Perit. Jadi, selalu ingat cinta Dia pada hambaNya, Dia nak yang terbaik buat kita. Pengalaman yang Muhammad saw dapat, buraq dan batu pun tak dapat ikut. Hadiah.


Kecapi cinta Dia :)

Spears is right.


there is only two types of people in the world.


the one that knows you the best and always says the right thing,

and the one that is slowly getting to know you and it makes you feel special,

and the one that sees who you are and makes you shine even more,

and the one that knows your hideous past and still hugs you tightly,

and the one that realizes that you are different somehow, and doesn't know how to react.




really.

there's only two types of people in the world.

niat


"Demi Allah, tiada siapa ku dengar menyebut-nyebut wafatnya Rasulullah, melainkan ku pancung kepalanya dengan pedang ku ini!" 

Sungguh Umar al-Khattab begitu marah apabila tersebar khabar bahawa Rasul Allah telah menemui ajal dan wafat. Begitu besar cintanya pada Kekasih Allah, hingga mahu memancungkan sesiapa yang membawa berita itu. Dan apabila khabar tersebut disahkan sendiri oleh Abu Bakar as-Siddiq, perasaan kebingungan dan sedih yang amat menyelubungi dia dan para sahabat. Umat Islam jadi kucar; ramai yang keluar dari Islam, ada yang mengaku sebagai nabi. Namun, Abu Bakar mengawal situasi, mententeramkan keadaan itu dengan nasihat yang begitu indah:

"Wahai manusia, sesungguhnya sesiapa yang menyembah Muhammad, kini Muhammad telah mati. Dan sesiapa yang menyembah Allah, sesungguhnya Allah Maha Hidup. Baginda tidak lain, hanyalah seorang Rasul, seorang manusia, dan berlalu sebelumnya rasul-rasul. Adakah apabila beliau mati atau dibunuh maka kamu berpaling dari ajarannya dan murtad? Dan ketahuilah bahawa sesiapa yang berpaling murtad sedikit pun tidak memberi mudarat pada Allah, dan Allah akan memberi balasan kepada orang-orang yang bersyukur (ali-Imran, 144)."




So reflect how you got here, and ask why you choose to stay. Perbetulkan dan perbaharui niat itu.

the last piece of the heart


You see, I wasn't good at handling matters on my own at that time. My temper was all over the place. I didn't know how to deal with people who pushed me into doing things that I didn't like. I didn't know how to act all positive and sunshine after having a bad day. And at the same time, I didn't like the way you talked about other people. The way you were being negative about things around you. How you always thought that people like to burden you unnecessarily. I didn't like listening to your complaints and ramblings about those things, and my patience was not helping either. That was why I was always quiet around you, and I knew that since then, the silence has been misunderstood.

In other words, I had a bad judgment of you. The criticism you put on me every time I wanted advice had been so discouraging, they didn't make you seemed like a 'healthy' friend for me at that time. At the same time, I had displayed you more of my negative side than I should have as your healthy friend. For that, I am truly sorry.

That was a few years ago, and I can't in any way change your perspective on me. Anything I do would seem fake or not good enough. Or maybe it's because we haven't spoken in a while. So I am sorry about that too. But I like the person I'm becoming more and more. There are lots to work on, and I'm happy about it. About working on it. Allah's plan works wonders; it never ceases to amaze me. I'll give you that. May He shower His mercy and blessing. I don't have anything to prove to you, and I'm not going to either.



Hehe. I don't know who's reading this, but it'll be the first, after many many many months, and the last time that I wear my heart on my sleeve. Till then *smiley*

answering a question about being picky when choosing a lifetime partner ... 



"My brothers. Would you like to be married to a rich widow, who is 15 years older than you and already has 4 children?

No?

That's sad, man. You've just turned down Siti Khadijah ra."




... and it got the whole room completely silent.

berhenti berharap



Kecewanya sang isteri apabila sang suami tidak membantunya untuk bangun semula ketika dia terjatuh ke lantai. Termangu dia sebentar. Lutut tercalar, kaki sedikit lebam. Ingatnya, suami kesayangan itu akan patah balik dan memapahnya berdiri. Namun tiada apa-apa dari suami yang dikasihinya.

Berhentilah berharap. Kelak kamu dikecewakan. Allah memberimu apa yang kamu harapkan sesuai mengikut keredhaanNya dan keperluanmu. Dengan itu, kamu akan bersangka baik dengan apa yang diberikanNya kerana itu adalah yang terbaik buat kamu dan apa yang diberikan itu adalah melalui redhaNya.

Fly Me To The Moon

Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars."
